Bush Claims He Didn't Want War in Iraq

The poll results must be getting to George W. Bush. He is quoted today as saying: "I didn't want war. To assume I wanted war is just flat wrong... No president wants war."

Mr Bush also stood by Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who has faced much criticism over his handling of the war in Iraq, saying: "I don't believe he should resign. He's done a fine job. Every war plan looks good on paper until you meet the enemy."

Many of us remember the endless speeches concerning 'weapons of mass destruction' prior to the invasion three years ago. Nothing was going to stop Goerge W from having his war. Well, he has his war. But it would seem that plummeting support back home has convinced him to try and find a way to distance himself from it.
